Club will again be the seene of
brilliant gaiety on the first Tues­day

The securing of additionlll pat­rons
and patronesses by the mem­bers
of the various classes of the

of this year's Prom. The pat­rons
and patronesses are invited to
come to the dsn~ and view the
Promenade at ten-thirty in the
ballroom. The favor s, which are
especially attractive and unusual
this yea I', will be presented dur­ing

The interest that thc students of
the college have shown in Prom
haa probably never bet!n surpassed.
The dan of '35 is grateful for
the co-operation it has received
from t he other three danes. The
support given to its projects has
done a great deal to make Prom
the aucceas t hat it will be.
Catholic Literature
Subject of Address
By Father Ryan
"Catholic Literature" WIIS the
subject chosen by Father William
p, Ryan of the faculty of St. Ber­nard'il
Seminary, when he address­ed
the student body on February 8.
"We of the Catholic Church are
not lonely. We are the ones thlll
are in communion with the gTeat
crowd through the centuriea," s.aid
Father Ryan in speaking of the
Catholic literary tradition.
Father Ryan traced the develop.­ment
of that great trlldition begin­ning
with the Fathel1l and Doclon
of the Church whom he called the
"Fatheu and Doctor:; of a new
mentlll heritage." He mentionlld
Eugene O'Neill'~ '"Day ' Without
End" as a true succellSor to the
Church', miracle play~ which be­gan
early, continued through
medieval time~ and "paMed out
only when a Shake~peare came."
Of Thorn., Aquinu, perhaps
the gTeate3t of all minds, io'ather
Ryan said thllt the Church would
have done much if it had done
nothing but give to the world that
mlln of genius with hill un, ur­l)
aaBed powenl in both theology
lind philosophy.
Farther on in the tradition werc
Bede, Chllucer and the unproved
Catholicity of Shakespeare. Nlltur­ally,
s.aid Father Ryan, if Shakea­peare,
living in the time that he
did, had been a Catholic, every
evidence of his religion would
have been de3troyed. Father Ryan
mentioned the theory, and ad­mitted
that it is perhap3 an im­probable
t heory, that Shakes-­peare's
famou l IIdmonition to him
who would move hi~ boncs might
be an indication that the cvidences
of hit religion were buried with
him It is true, however, accord­ing
to Father Ryan, thllt Shakes-­peare
often wcnt out of hi ~ way
to t tr ike ~ome kindly Catholic
note lind that he omittcd the anti·
Catholie spirit wh:ch permeated
many of his sources.
In . peaking of Milton, Father
Ryan compsred him to Dante.
While " Paradise Lost" is one of the
greatest epic) ever written lind
while it cannot be, and haa not
been, under-estimated, the whole
poem "Iscks the warmth, fire and
fervor it should have." Dante,
on t he other hand, "The man for
the ages," hilS given a flaming an­thuliasm
to his "Divine Comedy."
Dante's glowing faith adds II
warmth to his poem which "Para­dise
Lost," with Satan as its hero,
could not po!l!libly have.
Father Ryan went on to mention
Samuel J ohl13<ln , "who ever paid
high tribute to things Catholic,"
lind Newman, and ended with
Alfred NoyCII who, since hil con·
version, "has lin added lomething
in hb poetry that lifts him beyond
th f! skies."

Father Cleary Talks
On Vocation Week
The Reverend Donald Cleary of
Auburn, addre!l!led the student
body on March 15. His topic wu
"National Vocation Week."
Fnther Cleary began his talk
by de!ICribing an audience with
the Pope. He spoke of its bcauty,
o beauty which is a re$ult of Ill!
utter Hi mplicity. He went on to
spellk of Rome and especially of
the Clltaeombs. He told of his

tomb of a family that had died in
the ampitheatre by saying, "Th!re,
for the tinlt time, I rellli~ed what
it means to be a Catholic. For,"
said Father Cleary, "one cannot
really know all that Catholicity
means if he docs not fully realize
the greatne!lS of the tradition of
his ,"'aith lind the sigllillcance of
that Faith's long line of martyn."
In speaking of vocations, Fllther
Cleary clllssified them liS genel'ol
and specific. "The general VOCII­tion,"
he stated, "is to take a life

of a body in such a way that it

City Appro'bes
Press Exhibit
The Catholic PreaB Exhibit,
sponsored by the Catholic Couriel",
which was recently held at the C0-
lumbus Civic Cellter, was II lauda­ble
manifestation of the enthuli·
asm and interest of Rochester
Catholics.
It is, perhaps, aafe to aay that
no one, who did not have a part
in the planning of the exhibit, U:·
peeled such an elaborate and ex·
haustive display. It seemed thst
every poUible phase of the work
of the Catholic prellll was present·
ed, and presented in a novel and
highly interesting manner. And it
was evident from the large crowd.
present on each dllY of the exhibit
thllt both Catholics and non,Cath­olics
realized and approved itll
value.
The exhibit, in the Columbus
Ballroom, Will built around the
Maryknoll Mission booth and the
Catholic Coun.r di splay. The
various Catholic organiz.ationt find
schools of the city were represent-��ed
by booths which vied with each
other in originality and artistry.
The Nazareth College exhibit
featured the latest fiction and non­fiction
of Catholic writers. These
books were generously lent by the
book departments of leveral Roch­ester
stores. The College: publica.
tions were alllO displayed and the
posters, which were made by the
students, formed a moat att ractivc
background.
The other sehool exhibits were a
proof of the interest in Catholic
Action on the part of the students
of our Catholic high schools. A
great delll of time and work mUlt
have been spent on the arrllnge­ment
of such aplendid diaplays.
It is impossible to mention all
pam of the exhibit or even all the
highlights. However, cllch display
must be highly commended not only
for itself but alllO, and perhaps In
an even greater measure, for the
spirit behind it.
The greatest praise mU8t be
given to the Cllt1t.oiic Courier and
to 1111 who were in any way con­neeled
with the exhibit. It was one
of the most impreaBive Catholic
undertakings that Rocheater has
ever known and a similllr exhibit
might well be lin annulIl event.

maine. The greateat joy of their collegiate social
life is drawing near. They'll tell you that their
Prom is to be the best in the history of the college
-and they mean it.
But they, alone, cannot possibly make Prom all
that they want it to be. The Junior Prom i~ not
essent ially II function of the Junior Clan. From a
tradition origjnatlng in a Bingle college, the event
has evolved until it is now a national collegiate
institution.
The Junior Prom is the outstanding locial event
of Iny college year. Months of anticipation and
preparation are brought to a climsx at the first
note of a nationally famous orehestrll. Fleeting
hours dancing amid the .oftiy lighted 10veJine!1!5 of
the decorative .cheme , pleasant renewal of old
acquaintances and the making o( new-.oon be.
come precious memorie'.
Long after college yell~ have been forgotten,
long sfter text books have yellowed with age, when
even college days are but a hazy memory of "the
best years of your life ," the Jnnior Proms of your
collegiate career will be in your memory, as vivid
and glamorous as if they were of ye~teray.
Are You Hig h . H atting Your Parish
Sodality?
"Every school hodulity is II failu"e if it does not
t urn out good parish ~odll.list:s." Straight from the
magnificent con"enlion of sodalities held in Buffalo,
N. Y., do thelle words resound. At first glance,
they seem a b:t startling, but on second reading
they directly drive home an undeniable truth.
In our Catholk schools, in our own college, we
have a flouri shing sodality. Activities arc planned,
executed and enjoyed with all the ardor and en·
t husiasm that ao unmiatakably belongs to youth.
However, these sodalitie~ arc failing, failing
terribly, if they do not inspire the students to go
into t heir parish sodalities and be active sodalists.
The school is a remarkable in stitution, but it
was built as a ' lIpplement lor the parish. The
schoo! guidej us through those intricate paths lead·
ing to knowledge, yet knowledge in it~elr cannot
~ave our immortal 80uls. It is our parish church
through ih divinely called priest that baptized u~
Hnd made "II eligible for the kingdom o( God.
THE G L EANE R
YOII and I, all of liS, owe ollr slIpport to Ollr
parish lOdality first. Ta ke the ideas put forward
by your school sodality into your parish sodality.
Ile II. villil member of your 1)llrish organization and
you wm be more valuable to your !!Chool.
Guard against putting yourself forward. Go
into your pariah sodality In a humble mood and
be willing to work. You will BOOn be recogni~ed
in the grollp if you are any good at all and it is
only natural that others will aeek your opinion and
advice since you are fortunate enough to have the
advantages of higher education.
Those $tudents who are IIway f rom their parith
sodoilly while they are attending school out of
town may say: " But what can we do about it!"
You can do II great deal if you are willing. Early
in your summer vacation, anend your parilh
' odality meeting:s. The office" will welcome you
gladly and will probably give you many things to
do if you prove yourself capable and, above all,
willing. Make your presence felt, not as a Belt.
ordained leader, but as a helper.
It is high time t hat we all examined our can·
lICiences to find out (perhaps to our own chagrin )
if we are high·hatting our pariah sodalities.
What About the Moviet?
Yes, what about them! What are we, as Catho­l
i~ and sodalish, going to do about them?
No student who has heard Father Lord's t peech
can hllve the ~lighte.t doubt lhat the morality of
the molion l):cture i8 today at almost the lowest
ponible point. And that Immorality on the KTeen
is II sad and deplorable reflect ion on our era.
If, however, thst immorality i. to be ended, we
mu!t end it. It depends, almost wholly, upon us.
If we arc not zealous, it we are not determined, if
we are not per~istent in our efforh to make the
movie' moral, it is slmOlt certain that they will
not be moral.
We must force the produceu to give U5 pictures
which we can enjoy and of which we can approve.
And there is only one eftlcaciou5 way of doing thia
that is po!!lble for all of UB- That is to boycott
indecent pictures and to write letters voicing our
d'!apllroval of their picture, to motion picture pro­duce".
By pertOnal letten which we write, not as

a bad economic policy to try to
get out of debt by contracting
more debts but the constitution
would be nullified by making the
NRA permanent," stated Mi$ll
Rankin. The eour~ are upholding
the NRA, she said, as an emerg.
ency meaJure on the flimsy eXCUJle
ol'l'ered by the commerce clauJle in
the con~ titution but if it becomes
a permsnent governmental poHcy

expre$lled the hope that
the people would not forfeit their
right to live in the lsnd of the
free and the home of the brave.
Mr. She k, the second speaker
for the affirmative, disavowed the
essential quality of the connection
between the CWA, PWA, and the
NRA, which Miu Rankin had in­ferred
in her speech. Mr. Sheik
then continued the discussion of
the u;entisl features of the NRA
wh'ch his colleague had begun. As
one advantage of the NRA Mr.
Sheik offe red the {act tbat tbe
concentration of responsibility for
the act makes it easy to fix blame
(lr praise. "SUch concentration of
p(lwer is perfectly safe in our
f(llill of government," claimed Mr.
Sheik, "because it is controlled by
Congress' power over the flnanclal
alfa:rs of the government and by
public opinion expre.'l$ed by meanl
of the bsllot." Having admitted
that the NRA is not perfect be·
cauoe it is of human or igin, Mr.
Sheik summed up the case for the
aflirmative by stating that because
the NRA is based upon funda­mental
and immutable Christian
principlf!3 and is the best economic
~Y3tem now in existence it should
be adopted as a permanent policy
of the government..
The second speaker for the
negative, Mi" Eileen Burn. ,
claimed that the NRA was s reo

amount of revision would make it
a succe$!!fu l permanent policy.
"You can't experiment with the

City Appro'bes
Press Exhibit
The Catholic PreaB Exhibit,
sponsored by the Catholic Couriel",
which was recently held at the C0-
lumbus Civic Cellter, was II lauda­ble
manifestation of the enthuli·
asm and interest of Rochester
Catholics.
It is, perhaps, aafe to aay that
no one, who did not have a part
in the planning of the exhibit, U:·
peeled such an elaborate and ex·
haustive display. It seemed thst
every poUible phase of the work
of the Catholic prellll was present·
ed, and presented in a novel and
highly interesting manner. And it
was evident from the large crowd.
present on each dllY of the exhibit
thllt both Catholics and non,Cath­olics
realized and approved itll
value.
The exhibit, in the Columbus
Ballroom, Will built around the
Maryknoll Mission booth and the
Catholic Coun.r di splay. The
various Catholic organiz.ationt find
schools of the city were represent-��ed
by booths which vied with each
other in originality and artistry.
The Nazareth College exhibit
featured the latest fiction and non­fiction
of Catholic writers. These
books were generously lent by the
book departments of leveral Roch­ester
stores. The College: publica.
tions were alllO displayed and the
posters, which were made by the
students, formed a moat att ractivc
background.
The other sehool exhibits were a
proof of the interest in Catholic
Action on the part of the students
of our Catholic high schools. A
great delll of time and work mUlt
have been spent on the arrllnge­ment
of such aplendid diaplays.
It is impossible to mention all
pam of the exhibit or even all the
highlights. However, cllch display
must be highly commended not only
for itself but alllO, and perhaps In
an even greater measure, for the
spirit behind it.
The greatest praise mU8t be
given to the Cllt1t.oiic Courier and
to 1111 who were in any way con­neeled
with the exhibit. It was one
of the most impreaBive Catholic
undertakings that Rocheater has
ever known and a similllr exhibit
might well be lin annulIl event.

Come To Prom
The Juniors are going about in a ~tlLte of starry~
eyed anticipation- the'r very footJItep! seem to
keep time to the rhythm of an unseen Paul Tre·
maine. The greateat joy of their collegiate social
life is drawing near. They'll tell you that their
Prom is to be the best in the history of the college
-and they mean it.
But they, alone, cannot possibly make Prom all
that they want it to be. The Junior Prom i~ not
essent ially II function of the Junior Clan. From a
tradition origjnatlng in a Bingle college, the event
has evolved until it is now a national collegiate
institution.
The Junior Prom is the outstanding locial event
of Iny college year. Months of anticipation and
preparation are brought to a climsx at the first
note of a nationally famous orehestrll. Fleeting
hours dancing amid the .oftiy lighted 10veJine!1!5 of
the decorative .cheme , pleasant renewal of old
acquaintances and the making o( new-.oon be.
come precious memorie'.
Long after college yell~ have been forgotten,
long sfter text books have yellowed with age, when
even college days are but a hazy memory of "the
best years of your life ," the Jnnior Proms of your
collegiate career will be in your memory, as vivid
and glamorous as if they were of ye~teray.
Are You Hig h . H atting Your Parish
Sodality?
"Every school hodulity is II failu"e if it does not
t urn out good parish ~odll.list:s." Straight from the
magnificent con"enlion of sodalities held in Buffalo,
N. Y., do thelle words resound. At first glance,
they seem a b:t startling, but on second reading
they directly drive home an undeniable truth.
In our Catholk schools, in our own college, we
have a flouri shing sodality. Activities arc planned,
executed and enjoyed with all the ardor and en·
t husiasm that ao unmiatakably belongs to youth.
However, these sodalitie~ arc failing, failing
terribly, if they do not inspire the students to go
into t heir parish sodalities and be active sodalists.
The school is a remarkable in stitution, but it
was built as a ' lIpplement lor the parish. The
schoo! guidej us through those intricate paths lead·
ing to knowledge, yet knowledge in it~elr cannot
~ave our immortal 80uls. It is our parish church
through ih divinely called priest that baptized u~
Hnd made "II eligible for the kingdom o( God.
THE G L EANE R
YOII and I, all of liS, owe ollr slIpport to Ollr
parish lOdality first. Ta ke the ideas put forward
by your school sodality into your parish sodality.
Ile II. villil member of your 1)llrish organization and
you wm be more valuable to your !!Chool.
Guard against putting yourself forward. Go
into your pariah sodality In a humble mood and
be willing to work. You will BOOn be recogni~ed
in the grollp if you are any good at all and it is
only natural that others will aeek your opinion and
advice since you are fortunate enough to have the
advantages of higher education.
Those $tudents who are IIway f rom their parith
sodoilly while they are attending school out of
town may say: " But what can we do about it!"
You can do II great deal if you are willing. Early
in your summer vacation, anend your parilh
' odality meeting:s. The office" will welcome you
gladly and will probably give you many things to
do if you prove yourself capable and, above all,
willing. Make your presence felt, not as a Belt.
ordained leader, but as a helper.
It is high time t hat we all examined our can·
lICiences to find out (perhaps to our own chagrin )
if we are high·hatting our pariah sodalities.
What About the Moviet?
Yes, what about them! What are we, as Catho­l
i~ and sodalish, going to do about them?
No student who has heard Father Lord's t peech
can hllve the ~lighte.t doubt lhat the morality of
the molion l):cture i8 today at almost the lowest
ponible point. And that Immorality on the KTeen
is II sad and deplorable reflect ion on our era.
If, however, thst immorality i. to be ended, we
mu!t end it. It depends, almost wholly, upon us.
If we arc not zealous, it we are not determined, if
we are not per~istent in our efforh to make the
movie' moral, it is slmOlt certain that they will
not be moral.
We must force the produceu to give U5 pictures
which we can enjoy and of which we can approve.
And there is only one eftlcaciou5 way of doing thia
that is po!!lble for all of UB- That is to boycott
indecent pictures and to write letters voicing our
d'!apllroval of their picture, to motion picture pro­duce".
By pertOnal letten which we write, not as
group!, but liS individuail, we can perform a aplen·
did service for ourselv .. and for our community,
we can Curt her the cause at Catholic Action.
Therefore, every Cllthollc should feel bound by
duty to do his part toward making the movie.

tender its congratulation to His

upon his reeeivine a Commenda

E.peeially gratifying to read
was Patrick Braybrooke's compari.
&on of the youtht of England and
the United States. Mr. Braybrocke
succintly stated the esaential dif·
ference between the English and
American youth in this manner:

College Debate

a bad economic policy to try to
get out of debt by contracting
more debts but the constitution
would be nullified by making the
NRA permanent," stated Mi$ll
Rankin. The eour~ are upholding
the NRA, she said, as an emerg.
ency meaJure on the flimsy eXCUJle
ol'l'ered by the commerce clauJle in
the con~ titution but if it becomes
a permsnent governmental poHcy
we shall have made a jest of
democracy. Miss Rankin, in con­clusion,
expre$lled the hope that
the people would not forfeit their
right to live in the lsnd of the
free and the home of the brave.
Mr. She k, the second speaker
for the affirmative, disavowed the
essential quality of the connection
between the CWA, PWA, and the
NRA, which Miu Rankin had in­ferred
in her speech. Mr. Sheik
then continued the discussion of
the u;entisl features of the NRA
wh'ch his colleague had begun. As
one advantage of the NRA Mr.
Sheik offe red the {act tbat tbe
concentration of responsibility for
the act makes it easy to fix blame
(lr praise. "SUch concentration of
p(lwer is perfectly safe in our
f(llill of government," claimed Mr.
Sheik, "because it is controlled by
Congress' power over the flnanclal
alfa:rs of the government and by
public opinion expre.'l$ed by meanl
of the bsllot." Having admitted
that the NRA is not perfect be·
cauoe it is of human or igin, Mr.
Sheik summed up the case for the
aflirmative by stating that because
the NRA is based upon funda­mental
and immutable Christian
principlf!3 and is the best economic
~Y3tem now in existence it should
be adopted as a permanent policy
of the government..
The second speaker for the
negative, Mi" Eileen Burn. ,
claimed that the NRA was s reo

amount of revision would make it
a succe$!!fu l permanent policy.
